Spokane .NET User Group: Distributed .NET with Orleans

Simplify scaling in distributed .NET systems.
Orleans provides a powerful yet approachable abstraction for building scalable applications—without forcing developers to manage low-level distributed systems concerns.
In this talk, we’ll explore how Orleans simplifies:
Concurrency through virtualized, single-threaded execution
Event streaming without complex infrastructure glue
Caching and state management without manual synchronization
Scalability via abstractions over underlying technologies
What we’ll cover
Why Orleans: the problems it solves and where it fits best
How it works: virtual actors, grains, silos, and placement
Implementation examples: practical patterns you can apply immediately

Whether you’re fighting database contention, coordinating state across services, or looking for a cleaner mental model for distributed systems, this session will show how Orleans helps you scale with confidence—while keeping development approachable.
